Does your Seagate 1.5TB drive sound like this mp3?

[SteveNC]

I just got a recertified Seagate 1.5TB drive from Seagate, whenever it spins up this is what it sounds like (note the click): http://www.med.unc.edu/~andraws/CLICK.mp3

Does yours sound like this? Or should I send this back to Seagate?

I do not get those metallic sounding clicks and clunks. I would have word before you start storing valuable images on it.

[Seagate chat rep]: it seems as if the read/write head may be malfunctioning
...I'm sending it back. As an aside, that's nice of seagate to offer support on a Sunday.

This is a very useful link in case you are wondering about your particular hard drive and the sounds it is making: http://datacent.com/hard_drive_sounds.php

glad you found a fix
